ON THE PROCEDURE FOR SUBMITTING RESOLUTIONS 
TO A VOTE AT THE CONGRESS OF SOVIETS 1
[December 1920, before the 20th]
1) The CC imposes an unconditional obligation on all departments 
to adhere henceforth to the strictest procedure whereby all resolutions 
and draft laws of any serious significance whatsoever, subject to a vote 
at the All-Russian Congress of Soviets, are submitted in good time to 
the SNK.
2) The CC imposes an unconditional obligation on all party members 
to submit all their proposals to the Congress of Soviets first for discussion 
before the faction of the RCP at the 8th All-Russian Congress of Soviets.
3) The CC proposes that the nearest party congress discuss the question 
of bringing closer together in time the congresses of the RCP and the 
All-Russian Congresses of Soviets.
1 These proposals of V. I. Lenin, with minor editorial changes, were 
adopted at a plenum of the CC of the RCP(b) on December 20, 1920.

NOTE TO A. D. TSYURUPA
[1920]
He has no defense of theses—only a template.
"We have little"—that is all. One cannot speak thus.
He does not grasp the p r e s e n t  political aspect of the question.

The Council of People's Commissars repeatedly discussed the food question 
at its sessions. It is possible that the published note was written during one 
of such sessions where N. P. Bryukhanov, deputy commissar of food, spoke 
on this question.
